Stickman Fury — Play Free Online

Stickman Fury is an action and shooting game that swaps the usual realistic soldiers for plain stick figures. You steer a character around the screen, line up the mouse on whatever is coming at you and fire. It loads straight in the browser with nothing to install, so a session can start within seconds of opening the page.

It is a different kind of game from the headline title on Doodle Jump. Doodle Jump is about climbing one platform at a time with a single tilt control. Stickman Fury asks for both hands: one on the keyboard for movement, one on the mouse for aiming. If you want a break from vertical hopping and fancy something more reactive, this is a good change of pace.

How to play

Move with the arrow keys or WASD, and use the mouse to aim and to pick options on the menus. On a phone or tablet the game uses taps and swipes instead, so the same build works on touch screens, though precise aiming is usually easier with a mouse.

The basic rhythm of a shooter like this is simple: keep moving, aim, fire, and avoid standing still in the open. Learn how the controls feel in the first minute before you worry about anything fancier.

Tips

• Keep one hand on the movement keys the whole time. Stopping to aim is when most players get hit.
• If the game feels clumsy with the trackpad, plug in a mouse; aiming is the part that benefits most.
• Use the full-screen option if the game offers one, so the aim point is easier to track.
• Short sessions suit it best. Play a few rounds, then step away.
